~Reach for the Stars Summer Academy ~Boston University & Malden Public Schools~ Gateway Partnership~
The goal of Governor Deval Patrick's Gateway Cities Education Agenda: English Language Learners’
Enrichment Academy Grant //is to close the persistent achievement and attainment gaps that
disproportionately affect students in the Commonwealth's Gateway Cities by supporting summer 2014
programs tailored to meet the specific language and academic needs of secondary ELLs. Dr. Amy Cournoyer, author and Academic Program Director of the program, and Dean Hardin Coleman of Boston University School of Education, collaborated with Superintendent Dave DeRuosi and Assistant Superintendent of Malden Public Schools Kelly Chase, to plan and implement the Summer 2013 BU/Malden Gateways for English Language Learners (GELL) “Reach for the Stars” Academy. The overarching mission of the academy is to equip ELLs in Malden with essential knowledge, skills, and dispositions that will help them to navigate their way to success. The state-funded initiative has enabled BU School of Education and Malden Public School District to forge new pathways in educational partnerships and implement a transformational educational experience for English language learners in an urban school district.
